Sarborg

Technology-Driven Company

Executive Overview

Sarborg is a technology-driven company that integrates AI agents and mathematical algorithm- based approaches with complementary cybernetics to optimize decision-making processes. Its primary focus is on drug repurposing for pharmaceutical companies, leveraging machine learning and algorithmic strategies to enhance asset portfolio management and improve the probability of success in clinical trials.

The company is led by Dr. Andrew Regan, Chief Executive, who earned a PhD in 2014 for his research on bio-inspired algorithms in financial market forecasting. His thesis, A System to Predict the S&P 500 Using a Bio-Inspired Algorithm, demonstrated a 55.1% accuracy in forecasting next-day (t+1) directional trends of the S&P 500. Since its inception, Sarborg has applied its suite of AI agents, cybernetic algorithms and machine learning capabilities across various sectors, enabling a highly efficient decision-making process throughout its portfolio.

The Problem

Sarborg was created to address obstacles within the pharmaceutical industry through its platform

Time and Cost

Traditional methods of drug discovery can take significantly longer to identify viable drug candidates, leading to extended development timelines.

Reduced Accuracy and Precision

Human decision-making can be influenced by biases, subjective opinions, or limited perspectives, potentially hindering objective and strategic choices.

Lack of Personalised Medicine

Difficult to tailor treatments to individual patient profiles, leading to less effective and less personalised therapies.

Inefficient Identification of Repurposing Opportunities

Identifying new uses for existing drugs is a complex task which AI can streamline by analysing vast datasets to find potential candidates.

The Solution

Sarborg’s approach in combining AI agents with cybernetics and machine learning addresses the problems associated with the pharmaceutical sector.

Efficient Decision Making

Our AI agents significantly speeds data analysis to determine which assets can be repurposed.

Enhanced Precision

Our AI agents can efficiently rely on data sets to suitably tailor a treatment to individual patient profiles through detailed analysis.

Reduce Human Error

Significantly reducing human error on both input data accuracy and input selection.

Analyze Complex Data Sets

Our ability to process large amounts of complex data sets can reach a conclusion in an efficient manor to identify candidates.

Multi-agent platform

Reduced Development Timeline

Traditional drug discovery, repurposing, and development timelines typically span 10 to 15 years from initial discovery to market approval. Sarborg disrupts this lengthy process by leveraging its advanced AI agents and cybernetics capabilities to identify high-potential drug assets, indications and combinations in less than six weeks, dramatically reducing the discovery phase.

Once an asset is identified through the Signature Agent, Sarborg utilizes its proprietary technology and multi-agent platform to repurpose it into the most suitable indications, optimizing its therapeutic potential. Following this, the company has the flexibility to either develop the product further or license it out to partners, supported by comprehensive data generated from its findings.

This innovative approach not only accelerates timelines but also maximizes efficiency and commercial potential, positioning Sarborg as a leader in next-generation pharmaceutical innovation.

Founder & Chief Executive

Dr. Andrew Regan

Dr. Andrew Regan is a Saint Barths based British born polar explorer and entrepreneur. He is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Corvus Capital.

Dr. Regan sold Hobson Plc in 1996 for £154 million by way of a recommended cash takeover. In the years after the sale of Hobson Plc, Dr. Regan continued to invest in a number of public and private companies and was a founding shareholder in ASOS, Imperial Energy, IB Daiwa and others, which each achieved valuations in excess of $1 billion.

In 2014 he was awarded a PhD for his research in writing and developing a bio-inspired algorithm for forecasting the financial markets. His thesis was “A system to predict the S&P 500 using a bio-inspired algorithm” which forecasted tomorrow’s (t+1) directional trend of the S&P 500 at 55.1% accuracy. This algorithm used a novel parallel processing approach using GPUs. Since then, Dr. Regan has written a number of additional algorithms using an implemented agentic approach.

He is passionate about the polar regions and is an accomplished polar explorer having led a number of expeditions to both the Arctic and Antarctica.
